Fiend Assessment
"Bang!" "Bang!"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. ╰☆☆ ☆☆╮
"I'll go open the door." Beibei leaped directly to the door.
Lin Feng and Dilia both looked towards the door, where a black-haired youth stood. "Are you three here to participate in the Fiend Assessment?"
"You're here to inform us?" Beibei asked in surprise.
The black-haired youth nodded and smiled, "Yes, the three of you, show me your Demon Emblem. Don't mind, only then can I verify your identities."
Lin Feng and the other two flipped their hands, and the Demon Emblem appeared in their hands.
"Okay, you'll all gather at the city gate of Hongye City tomorrow morning to prepare for the assessment. People from our Fiend Castle will be there to greet you," the black-haired youth said with a smile.
"Tomorrow morning?" Lin Feng and the other two were all looking forward to it.
"What about the Fiend Assessment mission?" Dilia asked.
The black-haired youth shook his head and said, "I don't know that. However, the tasks for the Fiend Assessment will only be clearly explained to you when you go to the assembly point."
"When you go to the city gate, the people from Fiend Castle won't recognize you. Just show them this Demon Emblem, and that'll be enough." After saying this, the black-haired youth left.
Lin Feng and the other two exchanged glances.
"Wow, boss, we're going to become Fiend soon too!" Beibei exclaimed excitedly.
"Fiend Assessment?"
Lin Feng had made up his mind that no matter what, protecting Dilia and Beibei was the most important thing.
As seen in the original book, the Moon Ring Fiend Assessment Trial quest that Lin Feng participated in demonstrates that even One-Star Fiend Trial quest is not easy to complete. Completing the quest requires not only strength but also luck.
Even with the ability to complete the mission, bad luck can still lead to failure.
Conversely, some people may lack skill but have exceptional luck, and they can still complete the task.
Some might think this is unfair. But who can say that luck isn't a part of ability?
The next morning, Lin Feng and his two companions set off early for the city gate. When Lin Feng arrived, they discovered a large Metal Lifeform Metal Lifeform outside the city, bearing Fiend symbols.
"It seems there are quite a few people here." Lin Feng could see many figures inside through the transparent window of the Metal Lifeform.
Lin Feng and his companions immediately flew towards the Metal Lifeform Metal Lifeform. At the entrance to the passage stood a Silver-Haired Elder who looked at them and asked, "Are you here to participate in the Lin Feng Fiend Assessment?"
"Okay." Lin Feng and the other two nodded.
"Please unleash the Demon Emblem." The Silver-Haired Elder's face was devoid of any smile.
Upon seeing the Demon Emblem in Lin Feng and the other two's hands, the Silver-Haired Elder nodded slightly. "Go in."
Upon entering the Metal Lifeform, there was a wide corridor leading in both directions. There were other people in the corridor, and one of them, upon seeing Lin Feng and his companions, said, "Those participating in the Fiend Assessment, proceed to the rear compartment."
Upon entering the rear cabin.
"So many people!" Lin Feng said, looking around.
"Boss, there must be several hundred people!" Beibei exclaimed.
Dilia sighed, "And not everyone has arrived yet. Lin Feng, let's sit down over there." With that, Lin Feng and the other two found seats and sat down. In the rear cabin, there were rows of twenty seats, with four aisles separating each row.
Looking out through the clear window, Beibei said, "There are still so many people coming up. Hey, boss, look, there are even people wearing Fiend Badge. And quite a few of them."
Upon hearing this, Dilia and Lin Feng also looked out the window and indeed saw many people wearing Fiend Badge flying towards the Metal Lifeform.
"It seems this assessment task is also a mixed task." Lin Feng shook his head. The more mixed the task, the more disadvantageous it is for those of them participating in the One-Star Fiend assessment. But Lin Feng had no right to resist and could only silently accept it.
Metal Lifeform have set off!
"Call!"
Slicing through the sky, a gigantic, purplish-black phantom vanished instantly above the gates of Hongye City, becoming a faint black dot on the distant horizon. In the blink of an eye, it was completely invisible.
A large group of people inside the Metal Lifeform were looking outside through the transparent windows.
"What's going on? We still don't know what the assessment task is," Beibei muttered.
"Don't rush," Lin Feng said with a faint smile.
A woman with short silver hair sitting on Lin Feng's other side spoke up, "These Fiend Assessment missions all have fixed locations, which must be very far from Hongye City. The journey will probably take a long time. The people of Fiend Castle are naturally in no hurry to tell us about the Fiend Assessment missions."
Although Lin Feng knew the answer, he still pretended to be receptive to the lesson.
"My name is Lin Feng," Lin Feng greeted the woman with a smile.
The woman with short silver hair, also dressed in silver clothing, looked clean and efficient. She glanced at him, a slight smile playing on her lips, "My name is Sean, Mr. Lin Feng. These two are with you, right?"
Sean also knew that in the Fiend Assessment, the chances of success would increase significantly if several people worked together. If she encountered danger during the trial, even a small helping hand from someone else could change her Fate.
She now wants to improve her relationship with Lin Feng and the other two.
Lin Feng was fully aware of Sean's thoughts, but since the other party meant no harm, he naturally wouldn't be hostile.
"Yes." Lin Feng nodded with a smile.
Beibei's eyes lit up as she craned her neck to look at them. "Miss Sean, your eyes are so captivating. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. You can call me Beibei."
When Sean looked at Beibei, Beibei mischievous eyes immediately captivated her. "Beibei, your eyes are even more charming." Beibei's smile widened even more.
Dilia and Lin Feng exchanged a glance, both with smiles in their eyes.
Lin Feng thought to himself, "The plot has changed, this isn't Diyi City anymore, and Infernal Realm is so vast, the chances of Beibei encountering Nisi are probably extremely slim."
Thinking of this, Lin Feng glanced at Sean, who was chatting happily with Beibei, and a smile appeared on his lips. "This Sean isn't bad either. He doesn't seem like a truly evil person. Most importantly, he and Beibei seem to get along quite well. Perhaps..."
The Metal Lifeform flew for an entire day, and as dusk fell, the personnel from the Fiend Castle finally arrived at the rear cabin.
"The people from Fiend Castle have arrived," Sean said.
Lin Feng and the other two immediately sat up straight and looked up at the three people standing at the front of the rear cabin. Those three were the members of the organization sent by the Fiend Castle, and the one in the lead was the Silver-Haired Elder.
"Everyone!" the Silver-Haired Elder announced with a smile, "There are a thousand people participating in this Fiend Assessment. As you all know, the Fiend Assessment is extremely dangerous, with a very high probability of death. Yet you have all come; at least in terms of courage, you are all qualified to become Fiend."
The Silver-Haired Elder's face turned serious. "But courage alone isn't enough; you also need strength!"
"This assessment will take place in a location more than 30 million miles from Hongye City, called the Keka Mountains! Based on the speed at which the Metal Lifeform fly, it is estimated that it will take about a month to reach the destination," the Silver-Haired Elder announced loudly.
At this moment, the rear compartment of the Metal Lifeform was completely Stillness.
The thousand Midgod who participated in the Fiend Assessment listened attentively.
"It must be emphasized that this Fiend Assessment mission was not intentionally created by our Fiend Castle." The Silver-Haired Elder's voice echoed in the rear cabin. "Anyone familiar with Fiend should know that Fiend can accept missions at Fiend Castle. These missions are tiered."
"As for your assessment task, it is a one-star task that we selected from a large number of tasks, suitable for you!"
The Silver-Haired Elder solemnly stated, "Once you complete this mission, you will naturally become One-Star Fiend!"
"As for the detailed explanation of the mission, Gailin, you speak." The Silver-Haired Elder stepped aside. This Gailin was the alluring beauty in the black robe.
Gailin's voice was clear and bright. "The mission location is the Keka Mountains. There is a bandit gang in the Keka Mountains. This gang has three leaders, all of whom are extremely powerful. In addition, there are thousands of ordinary bandits."
"Your mission is to kill a bandit and obtain his Identity Token. Only by bringing the Identity Token to the Fiend Castle can you prove you have completed your task!"
"The Identity Token should be in his Space Ring. Of course, you can retrieve the property and other items stored inside the Space Ring yourselves," Lorraine said with a smile. "That's all."
The entire rear cabin erupted in noise as everyone discussed among themselves.
"Beibei, I didn't expect our mission this time would be to wipe out bandits, that's your old specialty!" Lin Feng smiled at Beibei.
"Hehe, boss, looks like we're going to make a fortune again this time," Beibei said with a grin.
"You little money-grubber!" Seeing Beibei's smug look, Dilia couldn't help but roll her eyes at Beibei.
"Quiet," the Silver-Haired Elder said loudly.
Everyone lowered their voices.
"If you have any questions, you can speak them aloud," the Silver-Haired Elder said.
Immediately, a burly man in a blue robe, easily three meters tall, stood up and said in a booming voice, "Sir, you said the proof of mission completion is that Identity Token. Do all bandits have one?"
"According to intelligence, all bandits should possess it," the silver-robed elder said with a faint smile. "However, we cannot rule out the possibility of special circumstances."
"So, if you kill a bandit but find that the bandit doesn't have Identity Token, then you're just unlucky. Without Identity Token, you won't be recognized by our Fiend Castle," the Silver-Haired Elder said sarcastically. "However, it's certainly rare for a bandit to not have Identity Token."
The burly man sat down.
Sean, the silver-haired woman sitting next to Lin Feng, stood up. "Sir, you said those three bandit leaders are so powerful, but you only want us to kill ordinary bandits. The bandit leaders won't just let us do as we please, will they?"
"This trip to Moon Lake isn't just for you all; there are also some three-star, Four-Star Fiend, and even Five-Star Fiend," the silver-robed elder said with a faint smile. "I imagine you noticed as well that a group of Fiend had come along with us when we set off."
"As expected!" Lin Feng was already certain of the answer.
